How much water is in a 10mm pipe?
Now, the internal cross-sectional area of 10mm pipe is about 61 sq.mm, so a 1 metre length of it holds about 61 cubic millimetres, or 61 milli-litres (ml). A flow rate of 0.33 litres/sec therefore means a water speed of about (0.33 / 61 x10-3) = 5.4 metres/second – about 12 mph.
How do you calculate how much water is in a pipe?
Here’s a specific example of how to apply the volume of a pipe formula:
- For a 1-inch pipe that measures 50-feet long:
- radius = 1 inch ÷ 2 = . 5 inch. length = 50 × 12 inches = 600 inches. volume = π (pi) × radius squared × length. volume = 3.14159 × (. 5 x . 5) × 600. volume = 3.14159 × . 25 × 600. volume = 471.24 in³
How many Litres of water is in a 15mm pipe?
Collector capacities are shown on the collector prices page (here), and typical pipe run volumes can be calculated by knowing that 15mm copper pipe contains about 0.14 litres per metre and 22mm copper pipe around 0.31 litres per metre.
Can I use 10mm pipe for taps?
Provided both hot and cold are off the mains (e.g. hot via combi boiler) or the header tank is very high, it should work fine, except perhaps for bath taps where high flow rate is required. In fact some combi manufacturers suggest 10mm for hot connections to taps.

Are all bath taps 22mm?
Baths are fed by 22mm pipes to provide the volume of water required, you should leave these and connect the new bath taps to them. You will find your basin is fed by 15 mm pipes. in almost all cases bath taps are 22mm.
Does plastic pipe reduce water flow?
The minor disadvantage to plastic pipe is the installation of inserts into the pipe before installing the pipe into a fitting. This effectively reduces the internal diameter from 15mm to 10mm thus reducing the flow rates.
